Omega 3 Linked to Less Obesity
Omega-3 Fatty Acids EPA & DHA
Linked To Lower Incidence of Obesity
Increased Blood Levels of The Omega-3 Fatty Acids EPA
And DHA are Linked to Lower Incidence of Obesity,
Suggesting a Role For Fish Oils in Weight Management.
New findings reported in theBritish Journal of Nutrition indicate that
overweight and obese people have blood levels of Omega-3 fatty acids
typically lower than people with a healthy weight.
This study suggests that Omega-3 from fish oils may play an important
role in weight status and abdominal adiposity, noted the researchers
from the University of Newcastle of the Nutrition Society of Australia.
Previous studies have reported Omega-3 in protective benefits against
obesity, and the new study adds to this growing body of evidence. A
considerable number of studies already support the benefits of the
Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) for cardiovascular health, and cognitive health. Other areas of
potential for the fatty acids include mood and behaviour, eye health, cancer risk reduction, and improved infant development.
The researchers recruited 124 people of varying weights: 21 were classified as having a healthy weight, according to their body mass index (BMI); 40 were classed as overweight; and 63 were obese. The researchers note that people who consumed Omega-3 supplements were excluded from their study.
Blood samples were taken after the subjects fasted for at least ten hours. The researchers recorded an inverse relationship between total omega-3 blood levels, as well as blood levels of DHA and EPA, with BMI, the subject's waist size, and their hip circumference.
The obese people had omega-3 levels of 4.53 per cent, compared to 5.25 per cent in their healthy-weight peers. When the researchers classed the people according to their Omega-3 levels, and not by their weight, they again observed that increased omega-3 levels were associated with a healthier BMI, a smaller waist, and a lower hip size.
"Other studies, along with our observations, suggest that Omega-3
supplementation may play an important role in preventing weight gain and
improving weight loss when Omega-3 fatty acids are supplemented with a
structured weight-loss program," wrote the researchers.
